Actor Mickey Rooney is offering to help repair the vandalized home of a black couple who returned to find their furniture wrecked and swastikas painted on their walls. "We fought World War II to wipe swastikas off the face of the earth," Rooney said in a statement. "I think everyone has to do his or her share to see that hate crimes are wiped out as well." Szebelski L. Freeman, 68, and his wife, Matilda, 69, came home after an evening out Aug. 29 and found their Agoura Hills, Calif., house in shambles. Damage was estimated at $30,000. No arrests have been made. Freeman said he and his wife were grateful for Rooney's support.
